King, WI population, income and ZIP codes

King CDP is a small town in Wisconsin, with 1,474 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #326 of 807 ranked by population — larger than 59% of them. The median age here is 56.2 years against 39.1 nationally, a markedly older profile that usually tracks retirees staying put and younger households leaving for work. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.

Households in King CDP earn a median of $72,500 a year, 7.7% below the national figure of $78,538 and within a couple of points of the $73,880 median for the 395 Wisconsin cities we cover. This figure covers the household, not the worker: two people on ordinary wages at one address outrank a single professional in the same table. Poverty reaches 7.8% of residents here, below the 12.4% national rate.

The typical owner-occupied home in King CDP is valued at $174,200, 42.6% below the national figure and 18% below the $211,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs $1,082 a month, 23% below the national figure, or roughly $12,984 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 17.9% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.4×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so purchase prices are unusually low against local pay, the pattern in places where supply is plentiful and wage growth has been flat. 75.1% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Rent is reported gross — contract rent plus tenant-paid utilities — which is why it runs above the advertised price on a listing for the same unit.

A median age of 56.2 puts King CDP well into retirement-weighted territory, which pulls median household income down even where household wealth is high, because retirement draws are counted differently from wages.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
